Developing Ideas for a Video




When coming up with ideas, students need to consider some essential questions:What are some cool ideas people will want to know more about?
  • Who is the target audience?
  • How long does the project need to be? (Note: Bydoing small projects of less than 10 minutes long, you can produce more in a short period of time. Also, it’s better to create movies that make people think and have more questions than answers about the subject being discussed.)
  • What are your initial goals?
  • Is it clichéd? Have others done it? Is it anything new?
  • How do you plan to shoot it?
  • Who would be great to interview?
  • Where would it be ideal to shoot?
  • Do you need to get any permissions before or during the shoot?
  • What equipment do you think you will need?
  • What are your other needs: music, other media assets (pictures, additional • footage, graphics)?
